Metropolitan

This is the modern world and i should know
America raised me to be in the know
Love yourself and go for the gusto
America raised me don't you know

Well life's just great for you and me
Solid gold sweeter dan honey
What a wonderful thing living in the 20th century
Well this is the modern world
If this is the modern world,
Why do i feel so out of place?

Murder and hate and revolution
The american pastime for everyone
Watch out for you brother and don't trust your mother
Their smiling faces don't mean a thing

Well life's just great for you and me
Solid gold sweeter dan honey
What a wonderful thing living in the 20th century
Well this is the modern world
If this is the modern world,
Why do i feel so out of place?

The future looks so bright ahead
But i wonder, will everyone be dead?
